 Formerly well respected Club Chairman, Paul Cole, was at the centre of a cheat scandal when competing for the G Carton Cup at the Burnfoot road race on Wednesday, when he won the race.
Such a totally unexpected result for a man of his advanced years has to raise a few questions about his integrety as Chairman. Apparently he rode magnificently to win the race having controlled the bunch all night with the aid of his henchman, Blaine (youngest son).
How is this possible I hear you gasp! Well a few theories were grumbled after the finish but we may have the answer.
A Carn Wheeler exclaimed. "@*&%, that was hard, that was the hardest @*&^%") race I ever rode. What was that &*)^%£ on? He pulled the @&*^$&%^$ legs clean out of me".
A fellow RVCC man just said "@*&%", and fell over into the hedge.
With this kind of evidence we had to delve further!!
Having first suspected drugs, this was quickly written off as a possibility as there is nowhere in the rules which says a big bowl of Frosties is not allowed before you race. We also all know Lance said "It is not about the bike", so what else could it be?
I think the answer is the "socks". The author has a firm belief that it is impossible to overtake someone in a sprint who looks this silly. Laughing while sprinting just can't be done. It is obviously an unfair advantage and the UCI should ban them.
Such a beautiful sport, the grace and elegance. The guys who spend thousands to look good, carbon everywhere, deep section wheels. Hell, they even dieted to look good in the lycra. Then how can we let this utopian image be ruined by long black socks? I blame Brian McConway!
Fortunately the long sock wearing does not always work as I spotted another ejit wearing them in the race and he did not win! Perhaps there is justice after all. Photographic proof below!
